Another object of the invention is the provision of a fluid compound for cleaning white leather which is extremely simple to manufacture and inexpensive.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a white leather cleaner which does not soil the hands and fingers of the user, and which can be readily made by anybody.

The white leather cleaner made according to the present invention consists chiefly of a white powder, such as for instance chalk very finely comminuted or ground to which castile-soap and a tenacious substance, such as for instance carnauba wax are mixed un- 35 der the addition of the required quantity of Water.

one-half ounces? of castile-soap with one-half ounce of carnauba wax which have been boiled with a suflicient quantity of water so that the soapand the wax are entirely dissolved.
